pher-o-mone Pronunciation: 'fer-&-"mOn Function: noun Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary phero- (from Greek pherein to carry) + -more (as in hormone) - Date: 1959 : a chemical substance that is produced by an animal and serves especially as a stimulus to other individuals of the same species for one or more behavioral responses - pher-o-mon-al/"fer-&-'mO-n&l/ adjective any endogenous chemical secreted in minute amounts by an organism in order to elicit a particular reaction from another organism of the same species. Pheromones are widespread among insects and vertebrates but are unknown amoung birds. The chemicals may be secreted by special glands or incorporated in other substances, such as urine. They may be shed freely into the environment or deposited in carefully chosen locations. Pheromones are also used by some fungi,slime molds, and algae as attractants in reproduction; organisms of complementary reproductive cell types grow or move toward each other. |

Pheromones are widely used to promote aggregation.
Among social insects such as termites and ants, several different pheromones
may transmit the various messages needed to coordinate the complex activities
of a colony. Some ants lay scent pheromones along a trail leading to
a food source so that other members of the colony can find the food.
Pheromones are also used to signal the presence of danger. A wounded
minnow has been shown to release a chemical from specialized epidermal
cells that elicits a dispersal response from the school. Pheromones play
a role in sexual attraction and copulatory behavior, and they have been
shown to influence the sexual development of many mammals as well as
of insects such as termites and grasshoppers. Such pheromones tend to
last relatively longer and extend farther distances than alarm pheromones.
Aspects of vertebrate parent-young responses are often elicited by chemical
stimuli. Entomologists use particular sex-attractant pheromones to lure
and trap harmful insects.
Pheromones may be involved in human sexual response. In testing human vaginal secretions, scientists have identified fatty acids identical to several that are presumed to act as sex pheromones in other primates. The human female's sensitivity to musklike odors is greatest around the time of ovulation, which some researchers interpret as proof of the ancestral presence of a musky pheromone in the male." How do the Pheromones work? We know that everybody emits Pheromones. Problem is, the quantity emitted, based on individual, may be very minimal. Increasing the dosage of pheromone molecules in your surroundings, will make you stand out in the crowd and may greatly increase your chances of attracting that someone special. Is there any evidence to show if Pheromones are effective in attracting people? There is plenty of evidence. With the advances in science, the evidence that pheromones are effective in attracting opposite sexes is growing rapidly. Check our news section for more details. Are the Pheromones used within the products obtained from humans? No. The pheromones that are used to manufacture the various pheromone products are chemically synthesized. What are Synthesized Human Pheromones? Because of extremely limited supply of human Pheromones, it would be impossible to satisfy the general consumer's demand for non-synthesized versions of Pheromone products. The limited supply would make the human Pheromones incredibly expensive and virtually out of range for over 90% of the population. To deliver the Pheromone product at a fairly reasonable prices, human Pheromones are therefore synthesized to resemble the original chemical compounds. What is a chemical synthesis? Synthesis is the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones. It is the process by which many substances important to daily life are obtained. It is applied to all types of chemical compounds, but most syntheses are of organic molecules.Chemists synthesize chemical compounds that occur in nature in order to gain a better understanding of their structures. Synthesis also enables chemists to produce compounds that do not form naturally for research purposes. In industry, synthesis is used to make products in large quantity. What is a VNO? VNO Function: Pheromone Communication: The Vomeronasal Organ or VNO is the receptor organ of a sensory system involved in chemical communication. Among mammals, sex Pheromones that advertise sexual readiness to potential mates are often, although not necessarily exclusively, detected by the VNO. Odors that are produced by one individual and detected by another of the same species are called "Pheromones" if the process is a real communication with benefit to both individuals. Sexual communication is only one example. How does the VNO function? Human VNO Function: Recent experiments report that an electrical response can be recorded from the VNO pit in awake humans in response to chemicals found in human skin. The researchers suggest that the effective substances (steroids) are human pheromones but have not investigated this possibility scientifically. The best documented examples of chemical (pheromonal?) communication in humans is the synchronization of menstrual cycles among women who live together, and the damping of irregularities in menstrual cycle length by chemicals from males. Do the pheromones work in the same way for both sexes ? Pheromones work for both hetero and homo sexual attraction. You should always wear the pheromone designed for your gender regardless of which sex you'd like to attract. PherX for Men should only be worn by men and PherX for Women should always be worn by females. Can I wear PherX with my favorite Cologne or Perfume?
Do PherX Pheromones really work? Of course! PherX Pheromones hold the key to the success you are looking for! Many University studies have been done and have proven that pheromones work. |
